Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chris2" data-source="post: 280865" data-attributes="member: 495">Season 1 of Newhart was taped (unusual for an MTM-produced sitcom), and then they switched to film for the remainder of the run.Stephanie was definitely an improvement over dull Leslie. I’m in the minority, but I liked Kirk. They were taking steps to make him more likable in season 2 with his marriage to Cindy. But instead they gave up on him and promoted Michael, whom I could never stand, to regular.  A little of him and his alliteration went a long way.TBNS is well done, though I’ve always had a difficult time warming up to it. The whole look and feel of the series just screams 1970s, and I didn’t really like the characters outside of Bob and Emily.“Bob” had potential, in its original format. I didn’t think the revamp for season 2 was as good. Bob’s wife seemed far too young to be the mother of their daughter (the actresses were only 10 years apart in age).</blockquote>
